The meeting illuminates an emerging pattern for the president, in which he sets aside time while traveling to hold one-on-one discussions with a range of individuals. That has included a new generation of mega-donors who can extend his financial advantage over presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Edens, 61, a businessman and investor worth an estimated $4.1 billion according to Forbes, has a long history of supporting Democrats. Interestingly, his daughter, Mallory, is reportedly dating New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has drawn headlines for his friendship with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., whose independent presidential bid complicates Biden’s path to reelection.
